One of the worst trends in youth sports: parents tying their whole identity to their kid’s AAU or club team. Detachment is power. The parents who played college or pro usually get it — they mentor without overstepping. The ones who didn’t need to observe and learn.
NBA players are world-class athletes, but they’re also world-class people.
The focus, the discipline, the consistency.
Pascal Siakam is a great example.
It’s easy to work hard when things are going well.
Harder after a bad game.
The best do it regardless.
Julie has played a big role in our #ArmCare movement over the past few years. This is a super exciting announcement and step toward protecting our youth ballplayers.
At what age should we be looking for our kids to develop a Lion Mindset? Most of us expect too much from our children mentally and emotionally at too young of an age. They are not little adults. They are kids! Let them play! #HERO#parenting#parentingtips#youthsports
Assume the data proves consistently throwing 88+ MPH is dangerous for a teenager. 🤔
Such conclusive evidence will ignite an "illegal pitch" discussion. New rules could come into play. For example, anything over 90 MPH is treated as a balk. #ArmCare 💪🏽
Looking forward to meeting with MLB execs this afternoon about youth #ArmCare.
Stoked that they initiated this conversation and want to hear about our findings from the past 18 months.
Sadly, we're watching high school pitchers drop like flies in the past few weeks as season winds down. When digging into their usage, it legitimizes the January editorial.
You can hate the truth, but it's still the #truth .
